Coach David Fizdale compared Lance Thomas to Draymond Green.

Sure. "He's a Swiss Army knife-type of player that can guard multiple positions and you can run offense through him," Fizdale said. "I think he can push the ball off the break a lot like Draymond Green plays. Obviously the thing I'm going to demand from Lance is to play defense like Draymond. And be a guy that's pushing to be a First Team All-Defender." If Fizdale can turn Thomas into half of what Dray can do, just give him 2019 Coach of the Year right now. May 10 - 2:16 PM

Lance Thomas (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game vs. Milwaukee.

Thomas did not play Friday due to the illness. The Knicks will likely be thin up front on and on the wings on Saturday, as Tim Hardaway Jr. (sprained left ankle) is doubtful and Michael Beasley (left knee contusion) is listed as questionable. Courtney Lee and Damyean Dotson will likely see all the minutes they can handle. Apr 7 - 11:11 AM

Troy Williams suffered a fractured jaw in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against Detroit and will miss the rest of the season.

Williams impressed the Knicks enough to get a two-year deal, though he only has a partial guarantee for next season. In 17 appearances for the Knicks, Williams averaged 7.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.6 triples. With Williams out, the Knicks will be able to get a look at Damyean Dotson.

Knicks head coach David Fizdale met with the Kristaps Porzingis' agent, Janis Porzingis.

Janis is KP's older brother and he met with Fizdale in Manhattan on Friday after Fizdale returned from the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago. In the past few months, there has been a lot of talk of Marc Gasol and Fizdale not getting along, so Fizdale clearly learned his lesson and is doing all he can to create a strong relationship with his franchise player.

New Knicks head coach David Fizdale said that Joakim Noah reached out to him after he was hired and that Fizdale is open to the possibility of Noah returning to the team.

Noah got into an argument with former coach Jeff Hornacek back in February and never rejoined the team after that. With Fizdale now coaching the Knicks, it likely increases the chances of a reconciliation between the player and the franchise. GM Scott Perry said on Tuesday that "all options are on the table."
